Publication[edit]

Written by Jun Kirarazaka, the series originated as a one-shot written by Kirarazaka in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine in August 2019. The one-shot was turned into a full series, which debuted on April 20, 2020.[2] The series finished serialization on August 24, 2020.[3] The series' individual chapters were collected into two tankōbon volumes.[4]

Reception[edit]

Zach Wilkerson and Vince Ostrowski of Multiversity Comics praised the humor, though they felt the series was too generic.[9] Jacob Parker-Dalton of Otaquest felt that the series had potential, though he felt the artwork was poorly drawn.[10] Steven Blackburn of Screen Rant compared Doron Dororon to Bone Collection, ultimately calling the former a blander version of the latter.[11]
